A NEGLECTED SENSE.
A Physicians Plea for tho Education
the Nose in the Sense Of Smelling.

A Physicians Plea for tho Education Of
the Nose In the Sense of Smelling.
'1sn't 1t a little singular, don't you
think" said DIR. II. X. Allen. that tho
nose, the organ of smelling, has,
through all the long centuries. been
neglected in the matter of educationp
All the other senses, save that alone of
smelling. are cultivated and improved
Take that OF sight. which has been aid
ed and educated by means of the micro
scope and telescope, not to speak of
spectaclcs. which overcome visual def
cicncies and continue old eyes in useful
employment TO the last moment of ex-
istence. If you have daughter with a
piano, or neighbors similarly endowed,
you know what has been done in edu-
eating the touch. BY educating tho
finger tips the blind are enabled to read.
The senses of hearing and of taste are
both educated.
Take the practical arts What a
blessing a plumber or IA health officer
would be with nose trained to his bust
ness. What sweet boon specialist
would be who, with sniff or two in the
suspected locality, would be able to say,
this Is MALARIA that's scarlatina,'
there's typhoid fever Isn't it strange
that this last quarter of the nineteenth
century, big with great inventions, has
done nothing for this long-neglected
sensep Then the shape of the nose. Ii
IS not unlikely that il has greatly de-
generated in form from what il once
was. Take an old coin of Rome or
Greece, and you will r, adily satisfy
yourself that This is no nero assump-
ton. Roman and Grecian noses of
pure types are now extremely rare.
These distinctive types are merging into
a conglomerate nose. 1t is said that
character depends largely upon the form
of the nose. Why. then, leave so much
to chance? Why not train up nose in
the way it should go?
IF person has good nose, a nose
of character. he usually, like the blue
china, endeavors to live up to it. To
elevate the race, then, would il not he
we'll TO begin with the nosesP / have
little doubt that pug nose has, in many
cases, been more burdcnsome than the
proverb'al milestone. Many boy of
good intentions has perhaps been turned
aside from the path of h Oh endeavor by
discovering in the formative period that
his nose was pug or of some other
plebcian form. Many, it is true, have
been able to rise above such discour-
aging endowment, but no one can COM
pute the thousands who have fallen
after noble but Intellectual struggle
against nose. "--Indianapotis Journal.

Romance of a French Cre.us.

NJ. Andre Kron has decided to live per-
manently in Paris. This is an interesting
announcement to society, because NJ.
Kron is one of the richest men in the
world, and viii doubtless live in style
betting his wealth. The story of his
rise from poverty and obscurity to wealth
and honor is curious one. 1t was in the
reign of Car Nicholas. NJ. Kron was
then young mana tailor's clerk, be-
heve-in st. Petersburg. One summer
the weather was unusually hot, and an
epidemic of fever broke out In st. Peters
burg. People died by thousands. 1t was
veritable pestilence and threatened To
depopulate the city. The doctors were
powerless to check it.
One day NJ. Kron wrote in one Of the
papers that all the trouble was in the
water the people drank. 1t was drawn
from the Neva, and all the sewers of the
city emptied into the Neva; consequently
the people were drinking diluted sewage.
1t is a remarkable commentary upon
Russian intelligence that no one had
thought of this before. But now Gar
Nicholas read NJ. Kron's suggestion and
at once ordered a good water supply to
be secured, no matter what it might cost.
1ue ulpSIlh engineers went 10 WOIk, Dut
met with obstacles they could not over
come. Nicholas sent them to Siberia and
set others to work on the problem. They
failed, too, and were sent to Siberia, and
third set of engineers went at it. They
not only failed, but they convinced the
car that it was an impossible task, and
he decided to abandon it. Then NJ. Kron
came forward. He organized company
and carried the work to completion.
Thereupon the car bestowed decoration
upon him with his own hand and gave
him fortune of 5000, 900, and the
czarina wrote him an autograph letter OF
thanks. The enterprise was, of course, a
profitable one, apart from the royal favor,
| and NJ. Kron is now said to be worth up

Mortar which Never Harden..

An intelligent and practical builder
states 1t as the result of his experience
and observation that mortar in the in
terror of walls, especially if it be what is
called ''rich" mortar, is liable never to
harden, but to retain its soft consis fency
even for centuries; but this can only be
the case where the interior of the wall is
Theoretically sealed against the external
air, which method both arrests evapora-
ton and shuts off the chemical operation
OF the atmosphere. The fact has been
stated that m England, not long ago, an
srchitect dug into a stone wall 500 years
OIL and of considerable thickness and
70 ok from between the stones a quantity
g mortar as soft as it must have been the
day the wall was built, and discoveries OF
nae same character have been made in
ether places. It IS also stated that the
possibility Of such an occurrence may be
tested in very easy way, namely, by
putting some rich mortar into glass bot
tle and hermetically sealing 1.-THE fact
